Wait does it seriously need manual removal?
I guess I can just delete the wine prefix folder but still! This should be illegal. When I uninstall the game I don’t want to have the most intrusive part of it still installed on my system.

This post is more of a loose question. I can play the game just fine without RT. But still if the hardware is there and performance (As I can see in Windows) can also be good then it might be worth trying to solve this issue.

I tried AMDVLK but then the whole PC crashed when launching the game…
Fingers crossed for RADV then.

Thanks! Those are pretty ok numbers imo! For an AMD’s first gen RT card 40 FPS in 1440p is very ok. Ghostwire should be less demanding so it also should have around 40 FPS or more.

With Proton it should perform just as well

Exactly! It should, from what I heard Wine/Proton/Mesa developers strive to keep performance as close as possible to native or if possible even surpass it. So every time game doesn’t run as well on Wine like it does on Windows there is something that can be improved.
I don’t know anything about programming GPU drivers but I want to help with debugging as much as I can.

The performance difference is way to big, and a weird CPU behavior. Most games run with very minimal performance impact on Linux. Some games can even run better on Linux than on Windows and I’m not talking about native versions. Most developers don’t care about Linux at all.
Currently 100% of my gaming is done on Linux. I only switch to Windows partition to test, compare and diagnose issues with Proton/Wine.

Do you have Vulkan-radeon installed?

Yes:

$ pacman -Q | grep -i radeon                                                                                       
lib32-vulkan-radeon 1:24.3.4-1
vulkan-radeon 1:24.3.4-1

$ ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/  
radeon_icd.i686.json  radeon_icd.x86_64.json

Any errors running vulkaninfo?

I’m not sure what do you mean, I can run vulkaninfo but I thought it’s only for displaying info about vulkan. Can’t see any errors there.

Your cpu is old, I wouldnt expect much more than 40 fps

True, but I’d be happy if I get even 30. Except I don’t event get 15… Besides if CPU on Windows hovers around 40% and GPU is 99% then I’d guess that CPU is not a bottleneck. That weird 100% CPU spikes must be related to either configuration or driver issue.

I do have a 6700xt and can test with cyberpunk for RT if you want

Thanks, I tried some other games like Quake RTX. Portal RTX, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and I feel like performance there is very similar to that on the Windows. Defienetly no CPU spikes or random freezes.
I don’t have cyberpunk (waiting for PC upgrade) so I can’t compere but you can post the results if you want, it can be useful.

He started with Linux Mint from what I’ve seen.

It doesn’t have an android build though…

Honestly I’m impressed with all the work the community has put into projects like LineageOS but when I recently checked the supported devices list I feel like we’re at the lowest point we’ve ever been and now to buy a phone for 10 years means to buy a Pixel.
Not often I say this but: Good job Google.

Do people really treat their phones so badly? I have a Galaxy Note II (Almost 12 year old phone!) that still works. Thanks to community support it has Android 12 installed and it’s currently working as a radio in my garage.
My uncle is using my old S8 as his daily driver and it works no problem.

I still can’t understand how I can install modern Windows or Linux on a 20 year old PC but the same can’t be done with 4 year old phone… 8 year is cool but it’s nothing compared to 20 years.

I honestly didn’t know what else this could be until the guy said it’s tooth 💀

In VM on FreeBSD ofc, right?

Light flashes and fans move for a fraction of the second but isn’t that normal? I always do that when I want to quickly discharge caps and swap some components without worrying about shorting something.

Wow amazing guide. I’ll try testing with a multimeter for now but that PSU tester looks very handy. Maybe I’ll buy one someday.

I know how you feel man. I used to work in a job like that. Honestly what saved me was reading some comedy manga on mangadex. Since it didn’t require a lot of brainpower and I could just stop reading it whenever I wanted it was perfect for times like this. My head also was in a much better state than after scrolling back then reddit for hours. If you don’t like manga you could just find some easy book.

If you can’t go for a walk during work go before or after work. I try to cycle every day after work and it always makes me feel better.

Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, play a game it will make you feel so much better. Just remember to change activities every few hours. If you’re going to play games for 10h you are probably going to get bored of it way too quickly.

I always thought that PSU testers were way more expensive but it’s good to know you can buy them relatively cheap. Honestly I’m curious if such a tester would detect anything. Currently the PSU works just fine under heavy load (CPU + GPU stress test). It only happens when I turn off the PC or put it to sleep so low or little to none power draw.

I haven’t seen any bad caps on the GPU or motherboard so I’ll see on the PSU (obviously with caution).

With GPU it’s an easy swap so I once exchanged GPUs with my friend to see if GPU is causing crashes (it was RAM btw) but with PSU I feel it’s a lot of work to unplug everything so I don’t want to bother them too much. I ordered an MSI 800W PSU. I have two weeks to return it if I want but your idea of having a spare is a good one.
